Topic: Dad just got a '67. (Read 5541 times)

I have a '67 Camaro that I've posted about here before and coincidentally my dad just bought a '67 yesterday from the same guy I got mine from over 15 years ago.

Dad's seems to be a high optioned car. It is a RS with power steering, tilt wheel, factory air, power windows, deluxe interior, seat belts and console with gauges, though I'm not sure how much is original. I took a picture of the trim tag and was wondering what some of it might mean. The car seems to be fairly original and I'm hoping it's as original as it seems. He has wanted a car as a daily driver so I really hope he just enjoys it and drives it as much as possible.

I forgot to mention that the guy he bought it from thinks me may still have the California plates, which I thought would be very good to keep with the car.

I have an 11A build LOS Camaro Coupe that has A638 in that position. I was told on here about the Body Scheduling code. It was only used on LOS cars, the letter was used to indicate the build day of the month; A was 1 st., B was 2nd., C - 3 rd., etc., etc. So - I - would have been the 9 th. build day of Nov.. The letter was supposed to revert back to A on the 1 st. build day of every month, I was told this did not always happen as planned.

I did a search and tried to find where the numbers would be on a "matching numbers" car. From what I gathered they should be on a tab on the front of the passenger side block, however this engine has no numbers there. They have either been painted over or machined off. Am I looking in the wrong place for a '67??

I also crawled under it today and saw that it had disc brakes. They look like factory camaro equipment but I bet they've been added. I'm going to try to look into the options and see if that would have been listed on the cowl tag.

My dad seems pretty proud of the car. The last two days I've gone over to his house he's been cleaning on it.

If the Engine was not an original "High Performance" model it will not have partial Vin. stamped on the pad. I believe only the 295 hp. 350 in an SS, and 290 hp. 302 in a Z28 smallblocks would have the partial Vin.

One last thing you can try is to see if the build sheet survived. Possible locations are in the springs behind the back seat, or in the trunk on either side between the trunk and quarter panel walls (this would require bending up your side floor in your trunk which you may not want to do). The build sheet will tell you exactly what was on that car.
